Re: FLASH: Javascript variable setting

[Marc Pidoux]

4 ways at least:


1. Generator (or SwiftGenerator) is the best way because it doesn't have the

javascript problems...but i don't think it is your question!


2. FSCommand is the official way to do it, see page 182 of the book.

Basicly, you have to call the jscript function

theMovie_DoFSCommand(command,arg), where "theMovie" is the name of your movie.

I don't like this way to much because then you have, in your Flash film, to

place an FSCommand.


3. Use the Load variable action to load it from a text file.


4. Finally, the easiest assuming your movie is called "university" and your

flash variable "access",

just write:    window.document.university.SetVariable("access", "Scott");

You can change "Scott" by "url" without the "" and set a javascript variable

called "url" as well.


Just ask me if it's not clear enough.


Cheers


Marc
